Representatives of business groups met with FCC Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau staff to push for a ruling on a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) decision sought by United Healthcare Services. United Healthcare had asked the FCC to find that a company is not liable for violating the TCPA for autodialed and prerecorded calls made after a wireless subscriber’s phone number has changed (http://bit.ly/1i6pAfm). Among those represented at the meeting were the American Bankers Association, the American Financial Services Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said an ex parte filing posted Tuesday in docket 02-278. “The record in this proceeding reflects strong support from both organizations and consumers for granting the Petition, which will ensure that wireless consumers can continue to benefit from the important non-telemarketing, informational calls that they have consented to receive,” the groups said (http://bit.ly/1rNfFm2).
